Waimea Coffee Company

I have to give some love to this place as their food was absolutely amazing especially for someone looking for gluten free options. This photo isn’t the best, but it does show their gluten free bread substitution which is obviously next level with the seeds. It felt homemade or at least locally made with high quality ingredients. I was honestly expecting udi’s or some other crappy gf substitute, but this bread was amazing! I got the MOA sandwich and the pesto on it was Divine! I also had their matcha latte which was very good as well. I also saw but did not try a lot of their vegan and gluten free baked goods in the case. Also, I have never had sweet potato salad before here. It was so yummy! 5 stars for this cute little spot!

We stopped in to Waimea Coffee Company many times during our stay in Waimea. The staff is friendly, the coffee tastes good, and there are plenty of gluten free food options, including baked goods (there is usually at least 1 per day). The staff definitely puts their passion into making each coffee drink - they even put those cute little designs on top and will go the extra mile for the kiddos. The only reason this cafe gets 4 stars instead of 5 is the wait. They are currently hiring (and therefore understaffed), and are typically so busy that you should expect to wait about 10 minutes to get your drink order. We typically ordered one Americano and one Mocha or something similar; however, one day I ordered Earl Grey and it still took 10 minutes. But their coffee is good, so it's worth it if you can wait. If you're not in a rush, Waimea Coffee Company is a great place to get your morning cup of joe.
